New Wentz bass coming.

[Bassslayer69]

This is THE coolest bass Fender has ever released!!!

Skinny jeans and angst are in!

Pete Wenst is god!


Oh yeah...I forgot to take my meds today...TTYT.

 

[Tommygunn]

Why is it purple?

 

[Bassslayer69]

No offense to the Wentz fans.

 

[Darkstrike]

Why is it purple?

Why not?

 

[Tommygunn]

Why not?

Well I like it better than the red one but I'm asking... is it a fender version?

 

[MisterMagician]

Why is it purple?

Admittedly, the purple is much easier on the eyes than the red.

 

[Tommygunn]

God! Is it a fender version?

 

[Darkstrike]

No, Squier.

 

[john turner]

i think some folks wanna take a vacation from talkbass.

reread the rules, people. you don't slag on other folks because of their musical tastes. you don't slag someone else's instrument choices. if you can't say something nice, or at least civil, then shut up.

these be the rules here folks.

 

[Tommygunn]

I supprised JT didn't shut this down! He should've it is only going to get worse!

 

[Nashrakh]

Hmm, I totally dig the purple pickguard, but the bass looks like the squier one too much...

 

[LCW]

He didnt becuase he is trying to be nice and give people a chance.

FENDER IS A BUSINESS

That means there looking to make money, there are so many awesome bassists out ther ethat have no fame. Pete is famous thus they can make money.

I think its funny when people say 'whats wrong with fender" its a huge company , that will follow whatever craze to make money.

I own a fender , not bad mouthing them its just marketing.

Amen.

I don't give a fart about his band or Pete Wentz for that matter, but Fender today is really no different than Wal-Mart. It makes itself money - nothing more, nothing less.

exactly. the guy can talk about the bass he likes without getting flamed.

 

[LCW]

^+1.....billion

 

[Darkstrike]

And by all counts, the bass actually feels, and sounds really damn' good.

 

[Grizzly700]

I like it, and I am in need of a P. I never use the tone knob anyway. LOL


In all seriousness, I would buy it if it wasn't for the big purple bat where my arm is supposed to be laying.

 

[throbgod13]

ok.. now i'm gonna chime in on this.. and it's a valid question, IMO.. LOL..

other than the bat logo, the 12th fret inlay and the colors.. what is different about this model than, let's say any other Squire PBass??

is there any difference on the hardware, electronics, woods or neck?? i know the inlay would qualify as an actual difference, but is it really an inlay, or a sticker-based "inlay" under the finish??

Duncan Design pickup, no tone pot, and IIRC a Jazz neck(might be wrong on this)

 

[LCW]

Yeah its a jazz neck, its like a hoppus bass in the fatc its string through, no tone, and the pick ups excpet the squier is duncan designed.

I wonder if they did this in purple to gear it more towards girls and the red towards guys because i know alot of girls like FOB.
